Pork Tenderloin with Mustard and White Wine Sauce
Total time: 35 minutes
Pork and mustard go well together. Served over pasta, it makes a lovely, quick, mid-week dinner, yet 'gourmet' enough for unexpected guests! If the tenderloin has a lot of ‘silver’, trim it with a sharp knife before slicing.
Ingredients:
- 1 pork tenderloin, 450gr, 15.8oz
- 1 small or 1/2 medium onion, 88gr, 3.1oz
- 1 clove garlic, 4gr, .14oz
- 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tbs Dijon-style mustard, 30gr, 1oz
- 1/2 cup chicken broth, 112gr, 4oz
- 1/2 cup white wine, 120gr, 4.2oz
- 1 tbs cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in 1 tbs water, 8gr, .28oz
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the onion and finely chop the garlic.
- Sauté onion and garlic in oil in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Slice the tenderloin into 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick slices.
- Brush mustard on one side.
- When onion starts to brown, move it to the sides of the pan and sauté pork medallions mustard-side down for 5 minutes.
- Brush remaining mustard on top and turn.
- Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add thyme, stock and white wine to pan, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes.
